Tuesday already?!

Well, with the long weekend ahead of us, our plan was to hang home and do stuff around here. Firstly, power wash our porch and prep it for staining. This cedar porch is beautiful, but had never been cleaned or treated. Neither Ross (the power washer) or myself knew what we were in for...



Just starting out Friday evening. The porch was coated with the thick layer of yuck. Everything looked gray. Ross worked hard for a few hours-but didn't finish-as the boys played with the neighbors and I worked on the yard.

Saturday was spent hanging with the Greenwald's. I had to work and met the guys over there, so the camera wasn't with. Boo. We had a great time swimming in the pool, an awesome meal and a beautiful evening boat ride.

Sunday brought more power washing. When I say more, I mean LOTS more. No joke, Ross was cleaning the porch for 7 hours straight. Insane. I mean, now it looks amazing and is ready for stain, but seriously. 7 hours. Plus the 3 the night before and the 2 this morning. That's a lot.


Finally, Memorial Day. We had a great day together. Ross did a bunch of work around the house while the rest of us played. We took a nice bike ride to a park and had a super fun time playing.


What a great picture--so carefree and those little piggies are delectable (even dirty)


Goofs.

Dane loves tennis. And he's actually pretty darn good. He said this was his favorite part of the park trip.




"My turn, Daddy."


It was a busy weekend spent mostly at home. Together. Exactly where we wanted to be.

Dane is seriously going to be quite the sportster. Or, I should say, he already is! Awesome.
